Summary
Vera Lukman is a software engineer at Google working on YouTube VR with a decade of full-stack experience spanning iOS, Node.js, graphics and real-time systems. She has a strong Computer Graphics pedigree from BlackBerry/RIM where she enabled WebGL in the Playbook browser and from research work that used SIMD to accelerate symbol-table performance. As a founder of Big Canvas she built the iOS app and backend, scaled server-side canvas rendering to support 1,000+ concurrent users, and grew a 26,000-strong artist community with strong engagement. Vera combines product instincts, hands-on native and backend engineering, and team leadership—she’s led SDK re-architectures, guided scrum teams, and shipped platform integrations that unlocked new revenue opportunities. An avid problem solver, she routinely turns research-level ideas into production features that improve performance and developer experience.
